PAGE 9-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 1973 From The Farm CORN WEED CONTROL Late Applications of Preemergence Herbicides. In the rushed planting schedule this spring, a considerable amount of corn was planted without a pfretemergence herbicide. We are now receiving calls about "late a p p l i c a t i o n s ' ' o f preemergences herbicides. Here are our suggestions: Lasso or Ramrod and their combinations with AAtrex (atrazine) can be applied until annual grasses have two leaves. The earlier the ap­ plication, the more effective the treatment. If possible, a timely rotary hoeing will help keep many small weeds under control. ^ AAtrex, Bladex or Outfox can be applied until annual grasses are V* inches tall. This is usually within two or three weeks of planting. Applying . these herbicides to corn that is growing under stress can cause yellowing and stunting. This injury is usually temporary, but occasionally has been serious. Do NOT add any wetting agent or oil to Bladex, Or serious crop injury may result. Outfox is already formulated in oil. An emulsificable oil added to AAtrex will help kill weeds more rapidly. • SOYBEAN WEED CONTROL Preemergence Herbicides. Most such herbicides for soybeans should NOT be ap­ plied to soybeans that have emerged. "Browning and serious soybean injury may result. Chlorbromuron fMaloran or Bromex), Lorox, and Sencor are photosynthetic inhibitors that may cause severe contact burn to exposed cotyledons and foliage. Solo and flurodifen (Preforan or Soyex) applied early postemergence may also cause burning and a twisting of the soybeans. "Preemergence" means before the crop and weeds have emerged from the soil. So apply preemergence herbicides at the proper time. If you get too far ahead in your planting, you may find that you are behind in your weed control program. ADDITIVES AVAILABLE There are several additives, preservatives or conditioners that McHenry county farmers can add to their legume-grass mixtures at ensiling time. Ground corn and other farm grains add energy to forage and help promote desirable fer­ mentations in high moisture silage. You can add up to 300 pounds of ground grain per ton of wet silage. Adding grain to dry haylage that contains less than 50 percent moisture af­ fects preservation little. You can increase legume- grass forage energy content and palatibility by adding either dry or liquid molasses to it. This product is also of greater value when it is added to wet silage. ^ Benefits from non-nutritive additives such as formic acid, bacteria and yeast cultures, enzymes and mold inhibitors have been observed when added to direct cut high moisture legume grass silage. However, their benefits are reduced or eliminated when added to low moisture haylage. CHOKE POND WEEDS Many shallow water ponds are infested with aquatic plants. If not controlled properly, these weeds can choke youju-pond and decrease its water or recreational value. Endothall, diquat or one of the other several aquatic herbicides will effectively control your pond weed problems. Long term control of various submersed plants requires a continuous effort each year. You can control emersed plants, such as cattails, by using dalapon or amitrole. Many of the chemical her­ bicides are relatively toxic to fish, livestock and humans. Follow recommended ap­ plications rates closely. Treat dense weed stands in sections to allow fish to move into untreated areas. Other­ wise, large amounts of decaying vegetation in a pond will deplete the oxygen too rapidly and cause the fish to suffocate. ALGAE CONTROL Unchecked algae growth can ruin the appearance and value of your pond. But you can ef­ fectively control algae. Copper sulphate, available in several formulations, is the most effective aquatic her­ bicide for controlling algae. However, copper does not decompose further and therefore accumulates in the pond bottom sediment. High levels of copper in the bottom sediments can affect fish reproduction. Cutrine and Algaecidex are copper-containing formulations that have been recently developed. They contain agents that keep the copper in suspension and reduce the amount of copper required for algae control. These for­ mulations also prolong the period of effective control, and are less toxic to fish because they reduce copper ac­ cumulations in the bottom sediments. "* Hydrothol 47 is very effective on filamentous algae and chara. It is the only herbicide- algaecide that will control most pond weeds and algae without leaving a harmful residue. It decomposes rapidly because.its active ingredients include only carbon, oxygen, hydrogen a\id nitrogen. Never increase application rates to get a faster kill. THE DRIVERS SEAT One of the Wall Street Journal's staff reporters, Ronald G. Shafer, sometime ago found out that driving while drunk can be a sobering ex­ perience. With the help of a major auto manufacturer, which provided the car, the proving-ground test course and the booze, Shafer did some first-hand research for a Journal article describing the progessive effect of alcohol on driving ability. Ovef a period of about four hours, Shafer consumed the equivalent of nine or 10 whisky- and-water highballs and drove the test-track route a number of times. A test driver - stone sober -- was at his side at all times, ready to take over the controls. Other than a beauty of a hangover, Shafer's experience left him with a few conclusions that are of value to any motorist who might be tempted to mix ajcohol with gasoline. As he reported in the Journal: "First, a small amount of liquor didn't make me an un­ safe driver. In fact, when the alcohol in my blood measured .02 percent by weight -- sober by any scientific standard - my driving reactions actually improved. "(...researchers don't con­ clude, however, that it's better to drink and drive - only that moderate drinking, up to .04 percent to .05 levels, isn't necessarily inconsistent With safe driving.)" At that level, you've had one to three drinks or 12-ounce bottles of beer in the last 1 Ms hours. "...alcohol began taking its toll long before I was aware of it. At a blood-alcohol level of .04 percent my reaction time ... was 33 percent slower than my time before drinking. "When my final drink put me at .08 percent, my impairment was obvious. Cones ~ and barrel obstacles added later - fell like bowling pins as the car weaved unsteadily through the courses. On the curved road- £2Jj£J2XIIXIX2XPQXZCni How Can I? mMrommroCTJ By Anne Ashley Q. How can I clean dirty window shades quickly and easily? A. A rough flannel cloth dipped in flour will usually do a good job. A soft eraser will remove many spots and stains, too. Q. How can I make an an­ tique stain for pine wood? A. One excellent answer for an antique stain is provided with strongly-brewed tea. After applying, cover with two coats of fresh white shellac, then wax for a fine finish. Q. How can I treat grease spots on rugs? A. You can often deal with grease on rugs by rubbing dry baking soda well into the spots, then vacuuming. Q. How can I skim fat from the the top of soup or stew? A. Use a sheet of paper toweling. The paper will absorb the fat immediately, and very little soup will be lost. Q. How can I remove a stub­ bornly-fitting tight cap on a large diameter jar? A. Try wrapping a damp towel around the jar, twisting the ends around together to form a handle. This will enable you to grip the jar securely while you unscrew the cap. Q.How can I remove crayon marks from woodwork? A. One effective way is with kerosene. For crayon marks on furniture, paste wax is a good removal agent. Still another way is with a piece of cotton fabric rubbed gently over the spot. Q. How can I clean copper utensils? A. By mixing a cup of flour and a tablespoon of salt to a paste with vinegar. Rub this over the copper with a soft cloth, then polish with a bit of flannel or chamois. way, I had made 24 runs without hitting anything when my blood-alcohol level was relatively low; at the .08 per­ cent level, I toppled 40 cones in eight runs." Among other conclusions reached in his long, interesting article, Mr. Shafer says that drunk-driving laws in this country appear to be lenient. "Despite my obviously im­ paired driving ability," he writes, "at the .08 percent level I would have been legally drunk in only one state'-- Utah. In most states, the legal limit is .15 percent; in a few, .10 per­ cent." "If you drink, don't drive," is still the best advice. But if you must do both, do them sensibly.

How can I prevent old potatoes from turning d&rk when boiling? A. Add three or four tablespoons of milk or a slice of lemon to your cooking water. Vinegar can be substituted for the lemon. Q. How can I quickly and easily clean rust, dirt and grime from golf clubs? A. Small pieces of aluminum foil will do this job nicely. Q. How can I remove shine from woolen garments? A. Try sponging the garment with a solution of one teaspoon of ammonia to a quart of water, then pressing on the wrong side. Q. What can I do to prevent my colored clothes from picking up lint from other clothes in the dryer? A. Turn them inside out before dumping them into your dryer. Q.How can I protect the books in my bookcase from mildew? A. A piece of charcoal placed in your bookcase will absorb dampness and protect the books. Q. How can 1 improve my gravy? A. If your gravy is lumpy, beat it with an eggbeather until the lumps disappear. If your gravy does not brown as you would like it, add a tablespoon of strong coffee to it. Also, the addition of a tablespoon of cream to brown gravy gives it a deliGious flavor. Q. How can I remedy some roughened edges on drinking glasses, which are making drinking a hazardous thing? A. A fine grade of sandpaper often smooths these edges nicely. Q. How can I remove rain spots from satin, felt, or other similar fabrics? A. You can often brush these away by using a soft ball of tissue paper with a circular motion. Q. What can I do about fingernail polish that has been spilled on waxed floors or tile? A. Best to let it solidify before doing anything. When the polish is barely solid and pliable, it can be peeled right off. Smears usually result when attempts are made to wipe up the polish before it has dried, or by using a solvent on com­ pletely hardened polish. Q. Just what causes meringue on pies to become tough? A. Baking in a too-hot oven. Q. How cart I improve the appearance of decorative stuffed birt A. Try lobbing gently over the surface with a slice of bread, which will usually pick up dust and grime without injury to the feathers. Q. How can I prevent skillets, waffle irons, and griddles from sticking? A. Wash them out, then after drying, sprinkle salt into them and put into a warm oven. After heating, dust out the salt and return the utensils- to their shelves. The next foods cooked in them will come out easily. Q. Please suggest a good and easy method of freshening up suede articles. A. Try brushing the suede with an old nylon stocking. Usually works lifce magic. Q. How can I prevent nuts from rusting tight on bolts? A. If you'll dip the threads of the bolt into shellac before turning the nut onto it, the nut will come off later without any trouble. Q. How can I treat scratches on furniture? A. .These can often be obliterated by wiping with a solution of equal parts boiled linseed oil, turpentine, and white vinegar Follo\tf~with a polishing with a dry, lintless cloth.
